FIVE core skills that will wake the copywriter inside you

- An Eye For Detail

And, to go with English language skills you’ll need the ability to spot errors in your own work. You’ll have to be your own proofreader and copy editor. All copy should be as error free as possible before being sent to the client.

- A Wide Vocabulary

A wide vocabulary is helpful. It’s great to have a wide variety of words to choose from, instead of the same hackneyed favorites. However, in some instances it is wise to stick to the tried and tested words – when wishing to achieve a powerful headline for instance.

- Curiosity

In order to write convincing copy, you’ll have to find out about the product you’re selling. This means discovering its features, benefits and unique selling points. And, if you want to approach the campaign from a new angle, the more you know about the product the easier it’ll be to find one.

- The Ability To See Different Points of View

As a copywriter it’s vital to be able to put yourself in the shoes of the buyer. You must be able to persuade the customer that the product or service you are writing copy for is going to benefit them.

- Research Skills

Knowing how to carry out research will be most helpful. Being able to use the internet will make that process quicker and easier. Having excellent research skills also applies to your communication with the client. Asking the right questions will allow you to understand the product or service inside out, which is vital if you want to sell it effectively.
